I got an air fryer about 8 months ago and I use it occasionally, I only use it to make fries and wings. It's pretty great, you just put a little oil in and press the go button and you have fried food 20 to 30 min later, it doesn't splash hot oil everywhere so it's way less dangerous to use when drunk and that's a huge perk for me

>>14279302
what?

basically im asking smaller and nicer one or bigger and cheaper one

>>14279330
i don't have an oven, so this airfryer will be a big improvement to my life

>>14279330
Don't you have to flip your wings half way though?

>>14279334
Lol I have an oven and this air fryer is still a huge improvement to my life, mine is a really cheap one too, I dont use it that often but it works and it hasn't had any issues yet

>>14279340
Pic related, it has this blade that turns the food while it's running

>>14279286
heh

>>14279379
I mean the salesman was pushing this thing...

>>14279286
pnop

My mom gifted me an airfryer. The only thing I do with it is sweet tater fries.
I don't know what else I would use it for.

air fryers are for cooking frozen fried food.
are you planning on eating lots of fried food? Like tendies? french fries?
if so, I recommend you don't get one and also stop eating fried food. sage

>>14279447
Can you really?

>>14279420
It's too bad there's no global information Network that you could type in what can I cook in an air fryer and it would just come up and tell you...

Small good one
Big cheap one
Word combo one with a rotating rack that can cook roticery chicken and be used as a regular toaster oven

>>14279441
I don't have an oven in my apartment. An air fryer seems to be able to do anything in oven can do.

I am frozen by too many options

>>14279532
they are all plastic junk made in the same chinese factory
pick the cheapest one that looks visually appealing to you

>>14279574
>buys the cheapest shitty thing every time
>is convinced everything is cheap and shit

>>14279578
look at the brands he's posted - its the same garbage sold at Walmart
there's no Zojirushi or Tiger

>>14279608
guess i'l; get that big ass black and decker one

I've been eyeing this cunt but some moron had the excellent idea to make it JUST too small for standard frozen pizza. Like 2 cm, how fucking oblivious can you be?

>>14279655
Totino's is the only frozen pizza worth buying and it would easily fit in there

Anon, are you white in Korea?
Also, Is an air frier worth it at all? Considering that you don't have an oven, your circumstances may be different. I, however, do.

>>14279754
The fact that you found that is so f****** creepy...

Yes I am a white guy in Korea, and from what people have told me is once they got an air fryer they basically stopped using their oven completely

>>14279286
>I want to get an air fryer
common mistake
>I want to get another air fryer
said no one ever

>>14279766
microwave ovens aren’t real ovens

>>14279766
Not that creep but I miss having an air fryer, and I plan on getting the air fryer lid for my 6qt Instant Pot for that reason. I have a small apartment so I prefer to save space, and with an air fryer lid I can do that but still have an air fryer around.
You can use it to heat up frozen foods as much as you can use it as your typical convection oven. Making chicken, skin-on wings is pretty cool in an air fryer, my grandmother double air fries her batches of chicken and uses very minimal oil and breading. The crispy exterior you get by doing that is pretty incredible.
Reheat leftover or frozen pizzas. Melt cheese easily on your sandwiches. It'll probably replace your toaster.

if your oven has a convection bake setting then don't bother buying one

>>14279787
a lot of the asian ones are
apartment space is limited so they sell tons of combo ovens that also microwave

>>14279779
I'm yet to find anyone who purchased an air fryer who doesn't use it constantly

>>14279787
I'm talkin the regular ovens. I haven't owned a microwave oven for many years

>>14279664
holy fuck imagine willingly eating such trash
America's frozen pizza game is a bit better than Europe's but neither of you can even touch us Canucks

I cook frozen pizza in a pan on my uneven electric stove

>>14279900
>I cook frozen pizza in a pan on my uneven electric stove
Based and chadlike

>>14279334
The one I have is built into a microwave, so it takes up less counter space.

>>14279286

>>14279900
That pizza is horrific.

>>14279402
based. i love mine it warms up quickly

>>14279379
>blade that turns the food while it's running
why?

>>14279844
Why is it the only things cannucks can take pride in is superficial bullshit like frozen pizzas and syrup?

>>14279286
I still don't nderstand what the fuck an air fryer is. Surely it's just a mini oven right?

>>14281020
No. It heats the air up until the point it becomes a liquid and it fries the food with the now liquid air

>>14279286
I say get a big one. at first I thought it was just a meme but I find it's pretty convenient actually - especially to reheat stuff that a microwave would ruin by making it too hard or too soggy. It's great for heating up vegetables. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to bake stuff in the oven and the air fryer preheats way quicker since it has a small compartment. I think I started using the oven way less since getting one

>>14281409
>Accidentally knock over the air fryer
>Get boiling hot liquid air all over the bench and floor
Does bleach remove liquid air stains?

>>14279286
air fryer? you mean a box with hot air.. like an oven...

>>14280993
>legit maple syrup
>superficial
i mean anyone from ohio would beat you to death for even implying that but go off you coastie fagarino

>>14282197
lmao no one cares about Ohio

>>14282454

>>14281799
Yeah... I'm confused.

OP here, im still totally paralyzed by choice

a good but small one

a big one that's cheap

a multifunction one with a spinning attachment that i can just use as a normal oven or griller/broiler. iot would be do good for nachos


i think maybe just the big normal one, i mean all the online guides for how to use them are about the normal airfriyers, and it's pretty cheap.

but im just paralyzed by too much choice and too much depression

Anyone else completely put off by the smell of this thing?
The Mozzarella sticks are soft and undercooked, fries were better but soft and limp even when I nearly doubled the time. I really don't understand why anyone would use this if they already have an oven.

>>14282735
>oven fried chips
>good
ewwwwwwww

>>14282990
They weren't good that's the problem, anon.

>>14279664
these things are so fucking baller. The crust is really light and crispy. really good to have with a beer. fuck that maplenigger.

OP here... i just got back from the store... i walked 3km carrying this thing back. my hawiian shirt is soaked... pictures soon i just need a drink first

>>14283012
Here we goooo

>>14283107
So is it any different than just using the oven?

>>14283107
Do millennials really not know how to drive?

I didn't learn until recently that "air fryers" are just mini convection ovens for poor people. Literally a toaster oven with a fan.

>>14279831
Still doesn’t make a microwave an oven
>>14279843
>a faggot who’s too lazy to cook knows other faggots too lazy to cook
well color me surprised...

>>14283286
They have a few advantages to regular ovens, mostly that if you only want to cook 1 portion of food it comes to temperature much faster than a regular oven. I find if im just reheating or cooking frozen food it takes on average half the time to get me tasty food in an air fryer compared to an oven. Also consider lowering cooking time reduces the power bill

>>14283304
you sound like a guy trying to defend his purchase of a miata

>>14283304
I have a gas oven, and I can wait an extra 5 minutes to make a frozen pizza. Fuck your air fryer.

>>14283286

What the fuck millennials forgot that toaster ovens exists
>>14283107

>>14283327
You are incredibly fucking stupid

>>14283315
>>14283320
No regrets. I use it almost as much as my actual oven.

>>14283347
nothing you have said in this entire thread implies you know anything at all about cooking, so why would anyone care about your opinion? You aren’t a cook. You’re an eater.

>>14283334
You are jealous of my airfryer that only costs $35 because it's also a toaster oven

Air fyers are good for frozen french fries, that's about it

>>14279456
You can try, heh.

>>14283501
It's /pol/, not pol, cutie ;)

>>14283495
I’m not sure. The best frozen pizza we get up here is German. He’s probably from Quebec. Hardly canadian...

>>14283523
Sorry I'm not a pole expert

>>14283268
i used it to cook some fries which came out like the best oven cooked chips i've ever had, but took a total of 15 minutes from a cold oven with frozen fries

then i used it to cook steak and oh my god it was great. it didn't LOOK good, but once you bite into it and the whole outside is crust but the inside is juicy and just perfect... amazing...

tomorrow i will attempt to cook chicken and then nachos.

>>14283274
i have a motorbike and this wouldn't have fit very well, and i walk 10k steps a day so might as well do something useful on my walk

>>14283286
>>14283347


and as you can see, i settled on the Cuisinart 28, it's the compact version of the full sized 60 which was just too big for my kitchen,

It has a warm setting, a broil/griller setting, a bake setting, airfry, toast and a bagel setting. regular airfryers don't have these and i wanted to cook nachos and this looked a lot easier to use for that.

i literally opened the door of the store display model to show my sister that it would be too small but the rack is so long

>>14279302
Don't care

Still voting Trump

also, should i show /fa/ my closet?

>>14283289
m8, the microwave is also an oven. as in it has microwave heating and regular oven heating elements

>>14283846
That’s fine. A spork is both a spoon and a fork, but if you take away one, it is only the other. A microwave is not an oven.

>>14279844
This is not true frozen pizza is either way too expensive or absolute shit like noname

>>14279334
>don't have an oven
Get a toaster oven.
Ideally large enough to hold the size baking dish you want to use. ("6+ slice" may be about right for a 9x13")
Toaster ovens changed much of my life, and I've had regular ovens.

Or an air fryer, if that's really what you want.

>>14279608
they truly are. it's a bit strange to me to see the same things from the walmart near me in such a foreign environment

>>14283304
who the fuck cares about your power bill from the oven? it costs like $10 a month to run

>>14279379
How are you going to fry a whole turkey with that in there?

>>14283838
Ronnie?

>>14279286
Watch buydig for sales on refurb Cuisinart convection ovens. More bang for the buck, can use for more than just air frying, under $100 gets you something really nice. Bought one a year ago, use the fuck out of it and it's honestly been one of my best purchases.

>$160
>$320
>$90
There is no reason to spend more than $60-70 on an air fryer unless you want something huge.

>>14284343
Should have included this in my post but I snagged this for $60 off Buydig. I was new but sold as refurb. Sells for $200 and honestly it's worth full price.

>>14279844
Imagine bragging about frozen pizza. Why are leafs so pathetic?

>>14284350
Pirchased the smaller version of that, I have a very small kitchen in my studio apartment

>>14284358
Mine doesn't take up a ton of counter space, about the size of a small microwave and it replaces the microwave basically. Do you like the little one? Mine is amazing. Shocking how fast and good food comes out of it. Only rub with them is you need to watch them when you first get them.

>>14284374
it took less than 15 minutes to turn frozen french fries into the best oven-cooked french fries I've ever had.

took about the same time to cook some steak it was thin steak admittedly but if anything it was in there for too long. Still the outside had a fantastic crust around the whole thing and it was still juicy on the inside.

Tomorrow I intend to cook some chicken thighs and some nachos. Cooking nachos is one of the reasons I started looking at this style of air fryer instead of the usual one that's just a deep basket.

Look how f****** big this thing actually is on the inside

>>14284395
that's pretty cool, I'll keep an eye if there's a similar product like that on my region
how hard is it to clean those things? do you just put food directly on that tray?
has anybody out there used something like this for baking?

>>14284395
>frozen french fries
MILLENNIAL retards buy these things to bake frozen french fries. Haha have you retards never heard of ovens or do you just need more convenient ways of getting body cancer with fastfood

>>14284395
Fries aren't great in these things in my experience. The crispiness out of a real fryer can't be replicated. Get a Fry Daddy if you're trying to fry for cheap. The air frying and convection functions are great for pizza, steaks, hot dogs and a lot of other stuff but the fries out of the fry daddy are light years better than out of the air fryer.

I can't tell by your arm and hand because they come in many sizes but the capacity looks similar to mine.

>>14279330
I've almost burned my house down multiple times frying while drunk. Luckily my dutch oven is deep enough and I didn't use that much oil so it was fine.

>>14283947
Fryed turkeys suck dick. Learn to smoke and you'll destroy the rest of your family at thanksgiving and christmas.

>muh power bill
my wife used to get on with this bullshit. she even tried to take it to the next level and only do laundry at night when she thought power was cheaper. Then I showed her our power bill for $137 and explained how only about $18 was for the power we used and the rest was service fees. In December. In Canada. Using electric heat. The next summer she finally decided we should have air conditioning.

>>14284880
I don't believe your bs story but whatever

>>14283379
Get bent, loser. My air fryer only costed $25

>>14284880
you know power price isn't the same worldwide as it is in Canada, right?

>>14284880
Why did your wife have the final say on if you had air conditioning you absolute cuck

>>14284746
Who on Earth would prefer to have an oven in there home then a clothes washing machine?

The only thing Ive used my air fryer for is french fries. But deep fried french fries are better in every way so I dont see the point in using it anymore.

https://www.americastestkitchen.com/guides/air-frying/the-best-air-fryers

>Best all around
Philips TurboStar Airfryer, Avance Digital
This was the best air fryer in our lineup. It had a thinner, compact footprint and shorter stature than the other models, but it still had a roomy basket that could hold a full pound of food. This machine was easy to clean, its digital controls and dial-operated menu were intuitive to use, and it was also safe: Its drawer-like design allowed testers to remove food without exposing their hands to the heating element.

>Best value option
GoWISE USA 3.7-Quart 7-in-1 Air Fryer
This air fryer’s digital controls weren’t quite as intuitive as those of the Philip TurboStar, but it was still easy to program once we got the hang of it. It cooked foods quickly and crisply, and its display was bright, large, and easy to read. It’s compact enough to fit under kitchen cabinets, and its drawer-style design and automatic shutoff were a boon to safety.

Get the phillips

>>14286185
I got a Cuisinart TOA-28KR

>>14284880
Australia has some of the highest electricity prices in the world so having a lower power draw is a bigger advantage for me than people living in the states.

Air-fryers if anything are more useful than most niche kitchen tools like garlic crushers, sandwich presses, torches. It does certain things faster, easier and more efficiently. Feel free to continue hating on something you've never used.

>>14286185
Phillips is one of the worst brands ever. No doubt they popularized the airfryer but God damn their products barely last a year before breaking.

Why is it cringe? Because this person was trying to sell a non-stick pan with noticeable scratches?

>>14288197
Too much cheese it's been a long ass time since I cooked nachos. Only took five minutes. I remember as a kid waiting ages for it to cook in a slow oven.

I wouldn't describe the food as being fried but I would describe the food as the absolute best oven cooked food I have ever had

>>14288186
Sloppa shit my dude

>>14288186
Chief I paid big money for a sloppashit

>>14279379
a good air fryer you barely need to turn it. you just shake it up once halfway through.

>>14288272
older airfryers were marketed as a "gadget" to cook fries in. not whatever they are now.

>>14288171
My chickens cooking now I hope it's good

>>14288735
keep moderately high not very high, it really only took like 15 mins

>>14288769
360 was the suggested temp mine has like a chicken setting so I did that. About 15 min like you said they were good

>>14288892
I would describe the taste as the absolute best case scenario for something cooked in the oven.
